A beloved pastor and military veteran was struck while trying to cross a freeway to help his daughter, who was on the side of the road after running out of gas.

Earl Gresham, 73, parked on the southbound side of I-65 north of Louisville, Kentucky on Jan. 25 and crossed over all the southbound lanes and the median barrier before being struck by a green 2007 Camry while crossing over the northbound lanes, according to the Indiana State Police.
